Pilotman Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Why don't they just give the degrees away, they may as well? And they wonder why Thailand has little credibility in the world of academia. One more scam on top of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snackbar Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 As long as cheating and plagiarism is tolerated in an institution it will never be respected. Ignorance justifies it as cultural which is a laughable excuse for unacceptable behaviour. Any members experienced the Thai immigration ED visa exam? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snackbar Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Undergrads must achieve a 2.00 gpa after two years to avoid expulsion. Half of all applications are culled or drop out before graduation That’ll be a 50% ‘failure rate Edited July 6, 2020 by Snackbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I predict a very high pass rate for those taking the online exam, compared to those taking the conventional one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it’s more like they do not drag students who do not want to study to the exams and expel them right away=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Back in the day... THOSE types of seat takers would obtain 1.5 GPA then bump up,to 2.0, then yoyo back down... just to keep ahead of the curve... To avoid working in Daddy's factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
